Song: “The Scientist” by Coldplay


assistant
It was a bright and sunny day as the scientist made his way to his laboratory. He was determined to find the answers he was looking for and he had a hopefulness in his heart that this time would be different. 

He opened the door to his lab and was welcomed by the familiar smell of steel, oil, and chemicals. As he walked in he couldn't help but remember all the times he had failed before. But today, he was determined to succeed. 

He pulled out the notes that he had been jotting down to help him focus on his task. For hours, he tested, adjusted and re-tested, until finally he thought his idea might just work. He had no idea how it would play out, but he was too excited to wait and find out.

He started the experiment, and as the elements were set in motion a strange feeling filled the lab. The room seemed to transform, each corner of the room filled with a warm and reassuring presence. He turned the corner and started to hum an old melody. 

The scientist had heard the melody before. In fact, it was the same one he had heard on the radio that morning. As he continued singing, all the mistakes he had made in the past, all the failures and successes, started to make sense to him. 

The scientist was overwhelmed with emotion. He looked up to the ceiling and said “thank you”, feeling connected with the energy that had allowed him to find this moment of clarity. 

As the experiment came to an end, the scientist was satisfied with the results he had gotten. More importantly, he felt a newfound confidence that could only be described as “empowered.” He smiled to himself, suddenly knowing he had indeed finally found the answers he was looking for.

As he walked out of the lab, he once again heard the melody of "The Scientist" as it played on the radio. Despite the sadness and heartache that the song brought his way, it was a feeling of hope that lingered in his heart, knowing he had finally arrived where he wanted to be.
